Since I didn’t do such a good job describing the caribbean blue v. ice blue dilemma, I thought I would post pics of the two Jim Hjelm dresses I am debating between:

1) Caribbean blue

I don’t think I would use the rhinestone tiw, but the dress is very cute on. I think the color is brighter in person though

2) Ice blue

This dress is cute on too, but it is hard to wear a bra with it, which may be a deal breaker for some of my more well-endowed bridesmaids!

Miss Lily, being “well-endowed” myself, I also have to say that the first dress, while gorgeous, may also have a hard time with a bra. Not wearing one per se, but finding a good strapless one. I can’t wear them at all, and I’m a 36D, they just fall down, no matter which expensive bra I wear. Just an FYI.

I gave my bridesmaid freedom to pick out whatever style dress they wanted from http://www.simpledress.com. Many of the well endowed ladies tried the halter style dresses and found them to be *way* to much cleavage for their comfort. I would go try on your two dresses and see what looks best on your BMs.

I think the Caribbean blue is beautiful, but I am a fan of hot colors.

For your well-endowed bridesmaids:
TOPSTICK.
It’s a strong double sided tape originally used for toupees… but it’s used in the fashion industry a lot~ to keep your dress in place, or keep your ‘ladies’ together…
Available at your local beauty supply store^^

Do the nu bra, or topstick give you support? Usually, when I wear a strapless bra, it’s just too heavy, and my back hurts. It’s the same with halters, it ends up hurting my neck from supporting my “top shelf”. I don’t know if tape or the gel sticky things would work, and if so, would be comfortable, anyone try them?

I’m lovin’ all the bra tips! Tell me more about this NU bra thing. What is it and where do you find it?

As for the strapless being hard for “the well endowed,” I have heard this before. It’s advantage is you don’t need a strapless/backless bra and is not quite as revealing. My MOH tried both on and felt comfortable in both (and she falls into the endowed camp), but I think one of my other bridesmaids is more sensitive to these issues. It’s never easy for us ladies, is it? But then again, we get to wear pretty dresses…

I guess the nu bra isn’t made for D cups and over, unless you count this one: http://www.wonderfulbreast.com/nubra/aphrodite_clio.htm

Which actually has two clear “Straps” that go up to the shoulder. It kinda looks weird. Damn.

the second one would be easier to wear with a longline bra or a halter/low back bra. and it is gorgeous! i think the strapless one requires … a very specific body type, whereas the halter would be flattering for many body types.

since we are discussing bras, what about one of those various position ones? the type where the straps can do all sorts of things? the straps could go around the neck for more support than just having a strapless bra on.

Topstick won’t hold up Dcups and make them look perky… but it WILL keep the dress from doing peekaboos.

I’m a full C, so I can relate to your woes… The nubra is awesome for ladies with small breasts who want a fuller look. But for C cup and up, it’ll just add more weight…

I think the best solution is a good convertible/strapless bra… and a dress that has more sturdy material, or a good structured lining.

Both dresses are lovely. If your bridesmaids are generally thin, I would go with the second one. If they’re not, then the first.
